I’d say Cruz is settling in nicely in his new B-more digs, already setting franchise records in just his second month with the O’s. Guy’s got a heavyweight’s swing and when he’s locked in it doesn’t matter where you throw it, he’ll split it in half.

Boomsticks

Cruz swings a number of bats and brands, but most recently we’ve seen the Marucci AP5 and the Slugger I13. These are both popular turning models for power guys and are available online.

He has also swung the Chandler CB13LC you see below in 2014:

Glove

Louisville Slugger H-Web

Nelson Cruz is far more recognized for his power than his glove, but Cruz plays a pretty good Left Field and has a rocket launcher for an arm. The H-Web Cruz wears is not available and as crazy as it sounds for the most popular pattern among MLB outfielders, Louisville does not offer a premium H-Web at all.

Cleats

Cruz has flip-flopped on this over the last couple of years, leaving the New Balance 3000 for Nike’s MLB standard Huarache Pro. These are available online but Cruz’ colorway is slightly different than the one available online. You can also create your own colorway very similar to Cruz’.
